This weekend, Google will also add Staples into the mix. The office supply retailer will sell Chromebook laptops from Samsung, Acer and HP at all of its more than 1,500 stores and through its website.

Google also said that later this year that select Office Depot, Office Max, Fry's and TigerDirect stores will also carry Chromebook computers. New retail partners for other countries where Chromebooks are sold were also announced Monday.

Previously, Chromebooks could only be purchased from Best Buy stores or on the Web from online retailers such as Amazon.com.
